The bullion operations at the Bank yesterday comprised an influx of £62,000 in gold, and the Withdrawal of 30,000 sovereigns for Portugal. The failure of Mr Clough, East India merchant, of Gresham House, has been announced, and the following circular has been addressed to the creditors : 152, Gresham-house, Old Broad.street, Sept. 28, 1864. I regret t o h ave to inform you that the heavy fall in cot tea has placed me in such a position that I have been com pelled to suspend payment. I have therefore placed my books in the hands of Messrs Edwards and James, who will very shortly place before you a statement of my affairs.— bolieitiag your forbearance meanwhile, I am, your most obedient servant, Flier:cis CLOUGH.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE,—This day. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. THREATENING A WlTNESS.—Christoplacr Webb, a baker, was brought before Mr Tyrwhitt on a warrant, promptly executed by O'Shaughnessy, one of the warrant officers, charged with threatening a young man named William Warren, residing at 9, Robert-street, Grosvenor-square. The complainant said he was a witness yesterday in a case in which two bakers were charged (and remanded) with stabbing a female. After the case was over he went to the Marlborough Head public-house, opposite the court, when the defendant's landlord Laid the defendant would fight him for S 5 for giving evidence against men. Ho , old the man he did not want to fight, and the defendant then said that the first time ho met him (complainant) out he would settle him. The defendant said the complainant first offered to fight him, but this the complainant denied. Tho complainant said the landlord of the Marlborough cad heard what occurred. Mr John Ellwood, of the Marlborough Head, was sent for by Mr Tyrwhitt, and he stated that he heard the do fondant say to the complainant either that ho would pay him out or settle him, and then some words ensued, Mr Tyrwhitt said the defendant would have to find two good bail in £lO each to be of good behaviour for three months. He had tried to bully a witness who had given evidence, and if ho did so again ho would be sent to the sessions, PARISH PROSECUTION OF A BROTHEL KEEPER. — Sarah Williams, of 32, Oxenden-street, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt on a warrant for keeping a brothel. A gentleman from the office of the Vestry Clerk of St. Martin's attended for the prosecution, and Mr Abrams for the prisoner. Sergeant John Appleton, 26 C, said he knew the prisone r as the keeper of the brothel in question. Mr Abrams asked whether she was the occupier of the house. The Sergeant said she was the manager. _ . The representative of the parish asked that heavy bail might be required, as it was a very bad house, and not withstanding the notice given :by the authorities, it had been still carried on. Mr Abrams complained that the parish authorities selected only the minor houses, and left the larger ones alone, for reasons best known to themselves. He under stood there were ten houses cf a similar kind in the street, and yet there was only one selected. He apprehended there was no distinction in the cases. The prisoner was then committed to the sessions—her own bail in £BO, and two sureties in £i9 each, being taken. 'WESTMINSTER. QUESTIONS OF RIGHT.—PUBLIC CAUTION.— , MT James William Lewis, timber merchant, of Manor-street, Chelsea, was charged with wilfully and maliciously damaging a fence at Chelsea. _ Mr John Samuel Phene, landed proprietor, at Chelsea, said he had been for a series of years subjected to a great many annoyances respecting his property. Ho had recently built a wall in a street recently formed, which wall had been several times knocked down. He had now erected a fence to protect it, and that was wantonly pulled down by the defendant at an early hour this morning. Two policemen were called in support of the charges. They proved that defendant and two other men came out of a tavern in the neighbourhood last night, when in con sequence of the defendant saying he would have the fence down the police watched it, and saw him return with the men, in a few minutes and cut it down. Mr Smyth, solicitor for defendant, cross-examined the complainant to show that the hoarding projected two or three feet on the footway, which was admitted. The constables also, in cross-examination, said there had been complaints. Mr Smyth urged that this hoarding was complained of as both an obstruction and a nuisance. In the present ful ness of ladies' dresses, they either had to walk out into the dirty road or have their clothes damaged by this hoarding. Defendant acting upon the generally recognised principle that a man had a right to remove anything that obstructed a right of way ; he had certainly been piesent, and had at least countenanced the pulling down of the fence. Mr Arnold said that whatever might have been the old notion about the right to remove, a recent decision in the Court of Queen's Bench had thrown a different light on the matter, which would of course influence future decisions. it was the practice in England when roads were mended to put up tressels on the highway in order to make the car riages roll down the new granite. A nobleman, consider ing the right of way impeded, broke down the tressels and damaged them. He was fined before the justices for the wilful damage, and his assertion of right was heard in the Court of Queen's Bench, when it was decided that the jus tices were right, and that the defendant was not justified in the act he had committed. Mr Smyth said it was for the magistrate to say whether his was malicious or wilful damage in the legal sense of .he words. Mr Arnold said that this must not be done again. If there ware any rights in dispute they must be advocated in another way, and if complainant had further annoyance after this notice the full penalty of the law would be en forced. As there was a notion of right influencing defen dant, he should not impose any penalty, but should order defendant to pay the amount of damage, and come up for judgment when called upon. THAMES. TURNPIKE TOLLS IN THE COMMERCIAL-ROAD.—Thos. Jeggins, a toll collector in the employ of the Co,nmeroial • road trust, appeared before Mr Paget to answer a summons taken out by Thomas Cook, a waggoner, which charged the defendant with unlawfully demanding and taking ls. as and for the toll of two horses and a waggon, of which Cook was then the driver. On the case being called on the complainant did not appear. Mr Joseph Smith, solicitor, said he appeared for the de fendant, who had twice appeared to the summons, and whose expenses ought to be paid, The officers of the trust, who appeared for the trustees of the road, had also appeared twice, and had been put to considerable inconvenience and cost. There had been five disputed cases on the Commer cial-road in 17 years, and two of those disputes had been raised by Mr Whitbread, a farmer and dealer in live stock, who had a farm in Essex and premises in Ratcliff, and who was the master of Cook, the complainant. The question raised by Mr Whitbread was whether vehicles drawn by horses coming from Essex through the turnpike with a load and paying the proper toll were bound in coming back from the metropolis to Essex, either with a part of the same load, or any additional load, were bound to pay another toll or not. The Act was so explicit on the subject that there could be no doubt at all the defendant had acted legally. Mr Whitbread raised the same question four years ago, and Mr Yardley decided against him. The defendant had paid him (Mr Smith) ono guinea, and been detained with his witnesses two days. Mr Paget—lt is a case between Mr Whitbread and the trustees of the road. Mr Smith—Yes, sir; in fact it is so, but the only persons that can be recognised are the complainant Cook, who took out the summons, and the defendant, who is hero. Mr Paget consulted with Mr Pyer, the chief clerk, as to the practice of the Court, and he said if the case had been heard and dismissed the magistrate could have granted costs, but as there was no complaint he did not see how the magistrate could interfere, Ho had no recol lection of costs being granted under such circumstances. Mr Paget said it was a hard case on the defendant, and persons had no right to take out summonses recklessly without any intention of prosecuting them. After what had been stated by Mr Pyer ho could not grant any costs. He was very sorry for it, and he must repeat it was a very hard case on the collector. Mr Smith—l shall bring an action in the County Court against the complainant. DEATH UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF CHLORO FORM.—A youth named John Downing, aged 15, an in-patient of the United Hospital, Bath, died on Saturday while under the influence of chloroform, which had been administered to him with a view to a surgical operation. An inquest was held at the Guildhall, on Monday, before Mr A. H. English, coroner. From the evidence of Mr R. T. Gore, surgeon, it appeared that the deceased, who was the eon of a small farmer at Seend, near Melksham, was admitted to the hospital about a month ago with a crippled leg, with which he had been efflicted from his birth. It was found that nothing could be done for his benefit but amputation. This was communicated to deceased's friends, who consented to that step being taken, and he himself ex pressed his willingness thereto, and also a wish that cholo form should be given him while the operation was being performed. Mr Gore having minutely examined him, and found that he could bear it, arrangements were made for the administration of choloroform, and a smaller dose than usual was skilfully appled by Mr Gaine, surgeon dentist, of the hospital, who is not only a skilful operator, but ac customed to the administration of the drug. The applica tion had the desired effect; and the operation went off well, and was to all intents over, when it was discovered that deceased's circulation had stopped. Every restorative remedy was promptly applied, but without avail, and de ceased died in about ton minutes. Mr. Teak, the house surgeon, having corrobrated the evidence of Mr Gore, and stated the result of a post mortem examination he had made, the jury returned a verdict fo the effect that deceased died from choloroform causing an arrest of circulation through misadventure. SALE OF FREE NEGROES,—yesterday morning Sergeant Thomas Hugh Dudley, of the Richmond Hustings Court, sold into slavery, in front of Court House entrance, pursuant to a decree of the court, the following free negroes ;—Charles and James Harris, convicted of burglary, and sentenced to be sold into slavery; George Drew, convicted of cow stealing, and likewise sentenced to be sold into slavery. Charles Harris, mulatto, brought 3,400 dole, and was purchased by Y. T. 'Watkins, dealer ; James Harris, brother to Charles, and mulatto, brought 3,60 G dole, and was purchased by Peter Lawson, butcher; George Drew, who has a preponderance of white blood in his veins, brought only 2,200 dole, purchased by Henry Jones, detective ; Isaiah, a slave, sold to pay gaol fees, brought 3,200 dole, purehaeer unknown.—Richntond SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. NEWMARKET FIRST OCTOBER MEETING. There was a rather meagre card with items of no particu lar interest yesterday. The St. Leger Stakes seemed reduced to a match until Mahometan came to the rescue, and was made at first a warm favourite, but gave way to Auricula before the start, the mare making all the running, and win ning with the greatest ease. There was a fine race between Columbine and Evelina in a handicap sweepstakes over the Ditch mile, Mr Savilo's mare defeating the Baron's by a he9d, though so close a thing was it that many thought that the " dark blue (tad orange cap" had first caught the judge's eye. Ety proved himself an undeniably good horse by the style in which he defeated Tomato and Sir Roger in the Six teenth Triennial, A.F. The Baron's mare has been sup- posed to be very fleet over that distance of r ound. In the Granby Rothoraago upset a very warm favourite, Ostregor, w;th great ease, The Eprt was of a very mode rate description throughout.

MUSIC HALL Cri.EBRITIES.—IinnIr at the bill— " Mr and Mrs Loppits, the charming duettists; Signor and Signora Polloni, the versatile dramatic operatic couple ; Joo Barnes, the comic; Gus Davis, the funny little man ; Mademoiselle Pettitoe, the charming ballerina and transformation dancer; Paddy Fannagan, the characteristic Irishman; and stunning Joe Pollock, the pet of Twopenny Town." The mud-bespattered brougham that you see waiting at the door about half-past nine belongs to Mr and Mrs Loppits, the charming duettists. lam surprised that the proprietor does not mention the brougham in the bills, for it is almost as charming as Mr and Mrs Loppits themselves, Ladies and gentlemen proceeding to the body of the hall, two pence, pause to gaze upon it with admiration. Gentlemen whose means are inadequate to the body of the hall, two pence, are content to remain outside and pat Mr and Mrs Loppits' horse, by the kind permission of Mr and Mrs Loppits' coachman, a grave and dignified person, who ap pears to ignore the music hall, and to try to look as if his connection with Mr and Mrs Loppits did not extend be yond the legitimate duty of driving their brougham. I should mention that Mr and Mrs Loplits' horse is a tall aristocratic looking animal, with a Roman nose, and is known to some irreverent grooms in the adjoining mews as Julius Crow. . . . Mr and Mrs Loppits are charming duet tists undoubtedly. They generally enact lovers; Mrs Lopp its, strong-minded, in a low-bodied pink dress; Mr Lop p i t s, weak minded and bashful, in a fluffy white hat and bed-cur tain trousers. Mr Loppits' assumption of bashfulnes ., putting his forefinger in his mouth and shaking himself laterally, is much esteemed. The steadiness o f the chorus f which comes in at the end of the dialogue, as if Mr and Mrs Loppits had been wound up for it, is else greatly ad mired. Mr and Mrs Loppits "oblige again" three times, and then depart down the body o f th e hall with two carpet bags, followed by admiring eyes until they disappear to enter their brougham. The greatest fa m vou ß rite, and deservedly so, is " Joe Barnes, the co m i c ." little white hat with a littl e bl ac k band roundes comes it, a nodnwiena wears a s a very short tartan jack e t. Th e h umour w hi c h h e ex p r esses by cocking his hat on the front of his head, the back of his head, the side of his head, and by pulling it right over hie eyes, are as various as the chords of the human heart. His heart may be said to sweep the whole lyre of the comic muse. Mr Joe Barnes's favourite songs are Naughty Jemima Brown, The Barber's Wife, and Fickle False Matilda. All three point morals, . . . Paddy Fan nagan's song of the Irish wake is highly characteristic. Paddy Fannagan comes on in a bob-tailed frieze coat, and a hat without a brim or a crown —the national costume of Ireland—and puts his shillelagh on the floor, saying that it represents the body of the deceased Patrick 0' Whack . • The performance of Mademoiselle Pettitoe, the charming ballerina and transformation dancer, are described in the bills as " pleasing," which, however, is a weak expression. 'I hey may be said to be highly Sensational. Mademoiselle Pettitoe comes on first of all as a Scotch fish-girl, dances in a manner characteristic of Scotia, and runs off to return the next minute as an Irish colleen, with a jig; then a dusky daughter of Egypt; and in rapid and breathless succession, as a female represen'ative of Spain, Italy, Poland, and other picturesque countries, until she reduces her costume to that scant condition which leaves nothing beyond the assump tion of the God of Love. When Mademoiselle Pettitoe dances violently in this character, with nothing on to speak cf but a bow and arrow, there is always a feverish expecta tion mingled with some apprehension that she will inconti nently appear next, without go!ng off, as the God of Love's mother.—Dickens' "411 the Year Round." DEER STALKING ON DEESIDE.—The Hon. George S. Duff, on Monday last, was out in the Alton -0 wer forest, and had a most successful stalk —bringing down three splendid stags, weighing each from 15 to 16 stones, clean. On Wednesday, on Cairn Vaich, he brought eh. wn another stag of 16 stones, possessed of a very elegant head ; while on Thursday the hon. gentleman was out deer stalk ing on Morven, killing one stag of upwards of 16 stones weight. On Friday and Saturday a similar success attended him, on the former day bringing down a fine stag in the woods proximate to Mar Lodge, and on the latter another on the Glenchristie hills, making a total for the week of seven grand stags. Mr Amehurst, brother to Viscount Holmes dale, was out deer stalking on Wednesday last in Cordovon forest, bringing down two splendid stags, one of which had a very handsome royal head, and the other a flashy one of eight tines. On Monday last Viscount Hultnesdale, MA' , had a most successful stalk,when one stag fell to hist ifle. The head was a very rare specimen of what is termed in technical phraseology of deer stalking the real caber-feigh, Last week the noble Earl of Fife h ad g rand sport at Mar Lodge, entirely eclipsing anything that has been done in Mar forest this season. On Wednesday his lordship went out deer stalking and brought down two s p lendid stage, one of which weighed the enormous avoirdupois of 18st Sib, clean ; the tit :r weighed 15st 101 b. On the following day he was even more successful, killing three noble monarchs of the forest, two of which possessed gorgeous royal heeds, and weighed respectively, clean, 18ist, 17st 21b, and l6st Gib. Oc Friday again the noble earl was out deer stalking, when two other stags fell successively to him, weighing lbst 101 b, and 15st 61b respectively. This makes a grand total of seven stags in three days, two of them royal, and other two of the heaviest weight shot in Mar forest this season.— Dundee Adreit:*ser.

The texture of the staple has been pronounced by competent judges to be excellent. - - GUN COTTON.—This curious substance has again been the subject of interesting experiments, which we find described in a paper addressed to the French Academy of Scinces by M. de Luca. Gun cotton is:decom posed very slowly in the dark, somewhat faster in diffused light. very rapidly when exposed to the sun, and still more so when exposed to a heat of about 50 degrees Centigrade This spontaneous decomposition passes through four dif ferent stages, At first it contracts slowly without losing its primitive form and texture, so that its volume becomes ten times less than its origir. al one. A few days later it becomes soft, and is transferred into a sort of gummy matter which adheres strongly to the fingers, and has no longer any appearance of texture or organisa tion whatever, even viewed through a microscope. Nynex] this mass has become quire homogeneous, its volume is again reduced by one-half. The third stage, which occurs some considerable time after, instead of producing any further contraction, causes an expansion ; so that the substance, reduced as it is to one-nineteenth of its origi nal volume. swells up to the full extent of the latter. In this state it is still gummy, but the mass is porous and full of cavities like a sponge. During these three stages there is constant evolution of nitrous vapours, which become much more abundant during the third stage. This evolution of gas gradually diminishes during the fourth stage ; the substance slowly loses its gummy qu lity and yellowish colour, and becomes so friable as to admit of being crushed into powder between one's fingers; it than becomes as white as sugar. It takes at least five months to see all these stages passed through. The sugary substance is very acid, nearly entirely soluble in NS ater, and is composed of glucose, gummy sub stances, oxalic acid, a little formic acid, and another which M. de Luca thinks is new, and with which for the present he has obtained salts of lead and silver. The glucose con tained in this last transformation of gun cotton has the taste and even the flavour of honey; it quickly reduces the tartrate of copper and potash, and ferments in contact with yeast, producing carbonio acid and alcohol. It appears from M. de Luca's experiments that gun cotton will keep indefinitely in vacue. ELECTION OF LORD MAYOR.--This morning, be ing Michaelmas -day, the citizens of London will assemble in the Guildhall for the purpose of proceeding to the election of a Lord Mayor for the year 1864-5.

Ferneley Allen (alderman of Cheap Ward), elected 1858; Mr John Joseph Mechi (alderman of Lime-street Ward), elected 1858 ; Mr James Abbiss (alderman of Bridge-within), elected 1859; Mr J. C. Lawrence (aldermen of Walbrcok), elected 1860; and Mr Andrew Lusk (alderman of Aldgate Ward), elected 1860. The aldermen who are not eligible, in consequence of not of not having passed through the year of the shrievalty are --Mr T. Dakin and Mr R. Besley (the present Sheriffs), Mr S. Gibbons, Mr S. H. Waterlow, and Mr Strong. The usual practice is for the Livery to select the two senior al dermen below the chair, and for the Court of Aldermen to choose the senior of the two for the Mayoralty. In the event of that practice being adhered to this year, and which there is no ream to doubt, the Livery will return Mr W. S, Hale and Mr Phillips, and the aldermen will select MrW. S. Hale as Lord Mayor of London for the ensuing year. STATE OF TRADE IN STOCKPORT.—.The state of the cotton and goods markets is greatly affseting the work :ng of the mills in this district, and the prospect of the operatives for the approaching winter is a gloomy one. During the greater portion of the past months of the present year the number of operatives out of employ or working limited hours contrasted most favourably witii the heaviest period of distress; and though the state of tradd is still much better than' in 1501 2, fears are entertained tiLat during the winter it will too closely approximate to the former period. Many of the mills have been gradually decreasing their hours of working for some weeks—and of those which a few months ago were working full time, some half-dozen are working only three days per week ; while about the same number are stoi ped entirely. These establishments usually employ some thousands of hands, and their cessation naturally causes a considerable amount of distress. Last week the applications for relief increased by about 200 cases, representing some 500 persons. The guardians expect a still further increase, and with the view of finding the recipients employment for the relief given, are commencing extensive drainage works in some of the townships in the towns. THE TUNNEL THROUGH THE ALPS.—The benefit that this stupendous work will bring to France and Italy will be very great. To say nothing of the increased passenger traffic, goods will then be sent frc.n the one country to the other easily and rapidly, avoiding the long and laborious passage of the Mont Cents as well as unload ing and reloading at St Michel and Susa. When, regard less of mew stow' or avalanche, the train in less than halt an hour posses under the Alps, it will indeed be a change from the time when the Carthaginian troops toiled painfully over the chain, and, after winding their way through trea cherous foes, perished by snow drift and precipice before they could reach the sunny plains on which they had gazed from the ridges above the plateau of the Mont Conjs.-- Once a Irak- CATTLE.—The imports of cattle during the first seven months of the current year show a consider able increase as compared with the corresponding periods of 1863 and 1861. Thus, the number of oxen, bulls, and cows imported to July 31 this year was 61,15 G, against 31,032 in 1863, and 16,693 in 1862 ; of calves 23,166, against 15,137 in 1563, and 12,521 in 1862 ; of sheep and lambs, 189,334, against 149,340 in 1863, and 70,215 in 1862; and of swine and hogs, 26,699, against 2,567 in 1863, and 2,274 in 1802. The high paces which continuo to prevail for meat have doubtless induced the larger importations observable this year, to which the service of eighteen established by the G rea t Eastern Railw a y Company between Harwich and the Continent has contributed to a rather mattrial extent, SPORTING INTELLIGENCE —This Day.

Furze Chat Le Bernais E'cven Election of Lord Mayor This Day, A meeting of the Livery of London was held this day in the Guildhall, for-the purpose of electing an alderman to fulfill the office of Lord Mayor for the ensuing year. The meeting having been opened with the usual for malities, The RECORDER came forward and informed the Livery that, in order that the magistracy of the City of London might not influence the meeting while they wero engaged in making their choice, the aldermen present would retire. The Common SERGEANT then read the names of the aldermen qualified to serve the office, the first and second names being Alderman Hale and Alderman Phillips. The livery elected those two gentlemen, and a Court of Aldermen was immediately held, when the Court warmly solect;d Alderman Hale to fill the office of Lord Mayor for the year 1865. A procession was then formed from the Court of Alder men Guildhall, and the dth e ou e e lte r c t. order shortly after an nounced t o the the G declaration nt of Alderman HALE, in obedience to repeated calls, came forward and thanked the livery for the honour they had conferred upon him. Ho promised to uphold the dignity and privileges of the Corporation, and to maintain the hospitality of the City. It was an honour to be called to fill such an important office as Lord Mayor of London, and he assured the meeting he would do all in his powtr to perform his duty. The Lord Mayor elect was then invested with the chain of office, and the proceedings terminated with a vote of thanks to Alderman Lawrence, the present Lord Mayor. The Disturbances in Eastern China. Some time back, says the,livalide .Busse, we announced the invasion of several towns is the part of the world we have just mentioned. The following are some details con. cerning the country alluded to. Rashcan, o. Turkestan, known also by the name of the province Hiss, is bor dered on the North by the Mountains of Tian-Chanonm, on the West by Mount Bolor, and on the South by the Mountains of Konin-Lnnom. The Desert Gobi forms its oriental frontier. This country presents the aspect of a sandy steppe watered by a number of rivers falling from the chains of mountains just named, and which nearly all got lost in the sands, with the excep tion of those which from the river Tarin-Gala coming from Lob Nor, or the Sea of Stars. The country produces wine, cotton, grass, and pot-herbs; but on account of its natural barrenness and constant dryness, it can only be fertilised by artificial means. The mineral riches which are known consist of sulphur, saltpetre, alum, jasper, &c., and the mountains contain copper and gold. The population, of Turkish origin, numbers about 600,000 souls, concentrated in the towns of Kashkar, Outchourfon, Akear, Jarnent, and in the neighbouring villages industry is little developed and commerce is in the hands of foreigners, who form a numerous and influential class in Kaskar, and who are principally of Khokan origin. The staple article is tea brought from China, which is exchanged for cattle coming from the steppes. There are also to be seen in the markets some products of Russian manufacture, such as cloth, linen, and metal tools. The inhabitants profess Islamism, which was introduced into the country about the fourteenth century by a self-styled successor of Mahomet, named Hadgi, only the new religion very little changed the primitive customs,as the women of Kashkar enjoy entire liberty. About the middle of the 18th century, Kasckaria and Djoungaria were con quered by the Chinese, and the Hadgi retreated to Khokan; a few of these representatives of Islamism contrived to remain in the country and exercise a great political and re- ligious influence over the populations which detest the yoke of the Chinese, and consider the Hodgis as their rightful masters. The Chinese sent an array of 150,000 men to occupy the country, but, not interfering with the administration of the country, they contented themselves with a tribute. We say that their authority at Kashkar is weak, and that they would not have been able to remain there long but for the rivalry of two parties, which divide the country, and are known by the denominations of Black Mountain and White Mountain. The Khokans have gained no less influence than the Chinese by supporting the Hodgis. They have been the instigators of the rebel lions against the authority of the Chinese. The first rebel lion took plane in 1826, and terminated by the expulsion. of the Chinese, who, however, soon returned with f, esh forces, taken from the interior of the Empire, and frightened the populations by cruel punishments, They perceived that the Khokans were the real authors of the insurrection, and tried to make them leave the country, but the latter succeeded in maintaining themselves in their Former position, and even, in 1830, forced the Chinese to conclude a treaty, which conceded to them the right of commerce, and even a cont , iderable share in the Government. Two other rebellions took place in 1847 and 1857, under the direction of Iladgi-Yali-Khan-Thure, who was at last abandoned on account of his ferocity, and obliged to fly, notwithstanding the victories he had gnaed. It was during the reign of this terrible chief that a European, by the name of Schla. gentweit, attempted to visit there countries, but his auda city cost him dear—he was hanged.
